TERMINAL 9 by Patricia H. Rushford and Harrison James

Finished Su 7/3/16
I bought this at the library book sale on Fr 6/10/16. I walked downtown in 95 degree heat. I was recovering from a double hernia operation.

Book 3 in a series

Retired railroad worker in a wheelchair is killed at Terminal 9, near where he had a house. The house is crammed with railway memorabilia and the man is also very wealthy.

Set in St. Helens, Oregon; near Portland.

'Mac' McAllister is the lead detective with his partner, Dana Bennett. Mac is attracted to Dana and he is also attracted to the female coroner. This woman has a kid and a kind of 'punkish' edge to her.

After the murder, the house is burnt down to conceal evidence. And, in the wreckage, they find a body which also happens to be a suspect.


Who dunnit?

The husband of his daugher. Many suspects, and this guy was kind of a minor character and the last you would have thought. He was a scientist and they seemed wealthy and no possible motive.

This is a decent Police Procedural, but nothing to really set it out of the pack.
